$$导盲犬是视障人士的好帮手和忠诚卫士,被称为盲人的眼睛。那么他们的这种职业素养是如何练出来的呢?我们一起去看看。导盲犬的培训是一个艰难和漫长的过程。导盲犬培训基地挑选到具备导盲犬潜质的幼犬后,并不立即投入训练,而是把他们送到志愿养育家庭寄养一年。在这个阶段,幼犬要熟悉人类的居住环境和各种公共场合,比如房子、汽车、商店、餐厅、马路等,还要学会与家里的宠物和小孩子相处,另外,他们还必须学会服从一些简单的命令,比如等待、起立、坐下等等。如何申请?申请的话打电话过来就是说登记,然后我们会有这个考核,上门去看他这个家庭的环境,然后小区的环境适不适合成为这个打棒球的寄养家庭。我们希望他家里白天最好是有人,然后能够给我们狗狗培养好的生活习惯和行为习惯。比如说不人不咬人。12个月后,这些特殊的小狗就要被送到导盲犬培训基地,进行5至12个月的专业培训。从周一到周五,他们要在训导师带领下学习各种导盲技能,只有星期六和星期日才可以尽情的休息和玩耍。这段时间里他们要学会所有的导盲技能,比如走路要走直线,不能低头文地行走时紧贴着主人的左边并稍微领先一点。在所有的上下楼梯、十字路口前停住,绕开地面和空中的障碍物,静静的卧在餐厅或办公场所。此外,他们还要学会合理的执行主人的指令。他领我出去走的时候,你看就是马路上的车过来了,我可能是不知道有车。我就问他说走吧走吧,他没有去走。这时候就在我左边就能过来骑车,他能够知道能判断出这个车流的速度。导盲犬训练的最后一个月,是和未来的主人一起参加的。盲人要学习如何与导盲犬一起工作,如何命令、如何喂养、如何做健康检查等。导盲犬则要熟悉新主人的生活习惯、语言特征等,只有喜欢彼此的性格,适应对方的作息时间和行为特征,才算配对成功。导盲犬的整个培训过程需要18个月到两年的时间,花费人民币约12万元。在此期间,如果出现注意力分散,或者是有攻击宠物和人类的倾向,就有可能会被淘汰。平均100只参加培训的狗里面,只有不到30只能顺利毕业。被淘汰的导盲犬作为宠物犬优先提供给原先的寄养家庭,而通过考核的则免费提供给盲人使用,服役期为8至10年。盲人使用者他要做到对这个导盲犬要宠爱,但是不要溺爱。然后对于饮食方面,我们要求基地会有要求,只能吃狗粮,不要喂人类吃的食物,保持住在基地之前的所有的家庭行为习惯,不要去惯着他。
